poor villagers using washing machines............huh?

poor villiagers eating at food stalls is a luxury they cant afford.

pop makes 220 baht a day. tv and mobiles phone? must be the least of their worries.

My ex, never married but lived together 11 years, and she still works for me, I bought her parents their land in Bkk which was about to be reclaimed by the landlord, they promptly lost it to a money lender.

They took my ex from school at 11 years old and made her work tiling roof, I am still helping the parents, against my will, as she wants to win favour I would have them go for what they have done to her

Tempting,the real taste in in the pastry!

Do you supply to Pattaya, I live up country but less than 2 hours from there and I stock up on Farang goodies when I go, can your products be frozen?

pub sausages in Uk are usually boiled first then fried or grilled

Yes I found that out from the publicans many many moons ago as they tasted so good after a few pints tried it at home but never as nice

Rum and diet coke here also a water resistant keyboard lol

I opened with them just my passport on a tourist visa at an up country branch, also opened internet access at the same time, Bangkok Bank I opened an account 2 years ago I still cannot get internet access

It used to be rice in the field, fish in the river we are happy but now many Japanese companies accompany that

Thai maids seldom clean above their head height but are great at removing teflon from fry pans etc.

A bunch of 2nd rate movie, TV , and music stars that I met staying in the different hotels that I worked in.

Craig T Nelson became a good friend of mine when they filmed the killing fields here, one of many that would remember me well

wow I love Warren Zevon did not think anyone else had heard of hi try some wih Linda Rondstat she used to back him, I am now hearing Bo Diddley by the man himself

Yes they tripped over their ladies dresses and fell hence the name

Long Live our King, I am English but revere and love the King of Thailand long may he reign

What nationality are you Tree?

Be careful though their jaws, even with the make up can really hurt your knuckles

Don't forget ham should be dry salted otherwise you will get gammon

A lot of hardware stores sell it Up country as it is used in gunpowder

It is so cold here now I have my fan on low and wearing a kimono

Many fresh and salt water fishing places here, in fact one nice bar on the river where you can do both according to the tides, and the owner is well worth catching too

i have just checked approx 700 Baht per rai per year for fertilizer no variation per year

Apart from all the technically correct Thai practically an inch is an English inch as in wood measurement and everything I have seen is measured with a tape measure in inches and feet unless using metric especially in the building trade.

The Thai inch is a legacy unit.

I don't recall seeing any real use today.

The only time I saw it used was years ago, in a certain meditation method taught by a certain monk, where 2 inches was referencing the Thai inches.

Actually this unit is still used widely nowadays but you might not notice about it.

Thai people often use คืบ and ศอก when saying approximate measurement.

I do believe it is used medically

As for land, even the official term วา as in ตารางวา is in used. 1 วา = 200 เมตร

I don't know if it the same game as before I lost my leg and a hel_l of a problem to play a game to play with only one but in those days the idea was to hit into the rough and then go there with the female caddy to find your ball

He used to live in an apartment building just off off Silom in BKK, he killed a few there on jewelry scams, it is a shame he is a Nepal gaol and not a Thai one in Kathmandu the gaols are easy not too much torture of inmates hopefully he will never be freed

I once made some ice cream from a cross section of my fowl from quail up to goose I had to use a local whipping cream instead of a nice fresh double cream but I still dream about the taste of that delicious ice cream no comercial brand could come near

We eat duck eggs because we have ducks. It's amazing just how many eggs they lay. My wife gives the extras to her family members.

Actually laying type ducks lay more eggs than chickens per year they do not have the same cycle

I have recently purchased a Hummingbird GPS fish finder for my boat, I normally go from the mainland near to Koh Samet/Koh Mun there is some good fishing around there especially going out to sea a little farther some monster swordfish Spanish mackerel and shark, I have been told there are also marlin around there.

When I find an area that has great fish I can record and return to the spot but as yet I cannot find a download of maps of the area to install on the unit, does anyone know?

Also I used to have nautical maps of the area from the admiralty which I bought in Amsterdam those are gone does anyone know where they can be purchased on line?

I love oysters around the world all have a different flavour, I think Bluff oysters from New Zealand are the best, it seems strange to have such a beautiful delicate food deep fried at the local chippy. Portuguese come a close second.

Doyles restaurant in Sydney have some great cooked ones I seem to remember Kilpatrick, Mornay and a couple of others. Does anyone know the recipes for these.

Thailand also has some very big oysters but certainly here, like big crayfish they are hard to find as the big hotels/restaurants buy them up first.

When I think of Whitstable oysters 20 years ago were £1 per beastie and here 40 for 50p.

There is a place a few miles north of Pattaya famed for it's oysters I used to call in every trip from Bkk to Pattaya but I will need to look at a map to recall the name
